.Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe saa y Beit known that I, WILLIAM MoADAMs, of Newton,'in the county of Essex and State of Massachusett's,V have invented certain Improvements in Pano-- ramic Galendars, of which the following, when taken4 1n connection with the drawing, is a full and andexact specification;

My invention consists in the arrangement andfcon. struction of a peculiarly shaped pasteboard at the lowf er pa-rt of thecalendar, which forms the bottom of the calendar, holdstheshaft orrod upon which the roll tums, and serves toV keep the roll `steady and vin place while in the 'calendarbox, as lfully described below.

Inthe accompanying drawingv Figure 1 is a view ot' my calendar when in use;

Figure 2 is a rear -view of the same, showing the means of` access to the roll, incase it is needed.

vFigure 3 shows the shape of the pasteboard alluded above, when spread outiiat. ".Fignre 4 shows the shape of the pasteboard` when in its natural position in 1 the calen'da'r-`t.\ox.`

is the calendar-box in which the roll is inclosed. l is the roll in'closed in the calendar-box a, the end of which is torn oli' asfast as it appears at the top;

o o' o'o are small slits out in the box to enable the roll b toslip more easily.'

m snows the lia by which the inside of als mandarroll b, or for any otherjreason.

` box a can be reached in` case of any accident to thei The roll b is suspended a'nd revolves `upon a rod or shaftthe ends of which rest inthe holes k k. The holes lck are placed in the sides e e.

, ,The sides e e are so situated and constructed for two purposes: First,A to'supp'ort the rod or shaft. Second, for the purpose of filling npwthe space -atthe ends of the'roli b, and thusrto keep it in position.

' The `front and back d d are so arranged merely for the purposes of strengtheningand stiening the bottom of the calendar.

-gis the bottom of the pasteboard, forming, also, thc bottom of the box a.

c is a hole in the bottom g for the purpose of gaining access ,to the insideV of the box.

This hole c may or 'may not be placed in the bottom g, assee'ms best; theisamethng is applicable to the lid m. Itjs best, however', -to`-use one or the other.

In fig `3 the dotted lines represent the places where;

the pasteboard is bent.

I consider my calendar superior in arrangement to any in thernarket. i, I f

I claim as my nvention- I The peculiarly-shaped pasteboard g e k d, bent and arranged as described, in combination with the rod or shaft, used either with or without the lid m, the whole being constructed as and for the purposes hereinbeforc set forth..
